ToolWorx has developed a unique end-of-line error
proofing system to ensure that any parts being packed
and/or sequenced are correct before they are
stored/shipped. This system combines the ToolWorx
PLC Printer "Smart Printer" with the
PTServer enterprise
system to eliminate errors before they occur.
The concept is simple:
1. Label parts as they are manufactured with the PLC
Printer using signals directly from the PLC
2. Extract shipping label data from a customer's ERP,
EDI, or labeling system for variable customer specific
label fields or just run standalone
3. Scan the parts into the "Smart Printer" and compare
to the correct sequence or just ensure that parts match,
etc.
4. Print the container label(s)
That's all there is, and there's no need for any PC's at
the line, just a printer. In addition, this system also
handles direct part marks using Data Matrix codes. It's
the most economical, secure, and easy-to-use system ever
developed to ensure that you don't ever get fined or
marked down for miss-shipping or mislabeling.
Here's all you do:
#1 Scan
#2 Validate/Print
This system has virtually unlimited flexibility in
connecting with data collection devices as follows:
